I have more than once made reference to Professor McGiffert's attempt to discredit the account of the institution of the Lord's Supper by our Lord himself. He made the assertion that the words in Luke, "This do in remembrance of me," are absent from many ancient manuscripts, and are, therefore, of doubtful genuineness. I have already said that they are absent from only one Greek uncial, D, which is noted for its many variations from the current text. They are absent, also, from only two ancient versions--the Old Latin and the Curetonian Syriac. This furnishes no ground for a serious doubt, when the words are found in the uncials represented by [343] A, B, N, X, Aleph and Delta, besides all the other versions and the cursive manuscripts. If any one has been in the least disturbed by this recent attack upon this holy institution, let him rest satisfied, regarding the attack as he would a puff of foul air as he passes along the highway. McGiffert was indebted to the German radical Bliss for his criticism.
